Understandable about the economic down turn. I think everyone feels that. The GTR is sick, yes. But you will have fun with the EVO. You should just feel forturnate you were able to have your fun with a GTR. Many of us will never have the chance. However, a friend of mine has a R35. Very sick and stupid! Fun stuff! Best wishes with the new car.

it's a shame that the economic sh*thole we are in is worldwide. either way you will have fun in the evo just as much as the r34, it's just not as fancy lol.

Love the R34! At least you now have experience with two iconic cars. I know you will miss the R34... I would. As for the lack of stability in the Evo at speed, you may want to try aero parts. I've got aero parts (diffusers front, side and rear.) It makes a world of difference over stock at high speeds.

Good luck with the Evo.

Whoa! I sold an s2000 in the economic downturn here in the states myself (hardly a comparison!). I came out with an evo, so I'm pretty happy. Sucks about the GTR but you got an amazing car now too. Welcome!

MidnightMitsu, Yes, both cars are fun to drive! but the R35 is another story. Its a man-made marvel! but you know what, Before buying the EVO, I did look at an M3 and even an R35 to replace my r34, but to be perfectly honest, I wasn't a fan of the SMG/DSG or any semi-autobox transmission. As advanced as it may be, I guess I'm just an old fashioned guy with 5 or 6 speed manual transmission. Just love the raw feeling in shifting the gear, hill and toe, double clutch etc2..

I am right there with you! I got to be able to shift it myself to have the most fun! Good luck with the sales and new project.
